Failure Project

Friday 20 June

Following her critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Festival, BAFTA nominee Yolanda Mercy returns with her bold new show, Failure Project.

 

Meet Ade—a writer who seems to have it all. Her career is taking off, she’s finally out of her mum’s house, and even her situationship is (mostly) under control. But just when life seems perfect, things start to unravel.

Failure Project is a raw, funny, and heartfelt exploration of what it truly means to “fail”—and how we rebuild from it. Ade’s journey is filled with humour, vulnerability, and unexpected twists that will strike a chord with anyone who’s ever hit a setback and found their way through.

Don’t miss this relatable and inspiring new work that will leave you laughing, reflecting, and rooting for Ade every step of the way!

Join BAFTA-nominated writer and performer Yolanda Mercy for a lively post-show chat after Failure Project. She’ll be diving into the joys and challenges of being a multi-hyphenate artist – making your own work, producing your own projects, and building a career on your own terms.
